[FEATURE] Improve the UX when hitting rate limits /rate-limit-options
Preflight Checklist

- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
When running into rate limits in Claude Code, you're faced with the following message that doesn't make much sense because:
The execution already stopped (you've hit the rate limit).
/rate-limit-options
What do you want to do?
❯ 1. Stop and wait for limit to reset
- Add funds to continue with extra usage
- Upgrade your plan
Enter to confirm · Esc to cancel
Proposed Solution
Replace option 1 with 2, 2 with 3, and add an option 3 to resume once the rate limit has expired (which could be automatically triggered to solve the issue raised by multiple other users).
Alternative Solutions
When the limit resets and you want to resume, you don't have an option except hitting 1 and then asking Claude to resume its task... (which is poor UX)
